It would be interesting to learn how many were paid in some way to protest and
to spoil the sacredness of Temple Square. Excommunicate those who are LDS
women. They want to bring down the Church, change the Church, tell God how
outdated He and His ideas are, as if they know something He doesn't???
"Counsel not thy God."

It is sad that there are sisters that do not realize that they are half of a
whole and the way to being whole (or having equality to a man) is temple
marriage not ordination.The search for 'equality' has taken much from
men while supposedly giving women more. Men lost their male-only gyms for
example while women retained their female-only gyms. My first question to the
Ordain Women people is - have you asked of God? Then it would be - if you
received revelation that women should be ordained then why has not the Prophet?
When the Prophet lets us know that God has let him know that women are to be
ordained, then and only then will I give my full-hearted support to the
ordination of women. I pray that these sisters realize that the ways of the
world are not the ways of God and that when we decided to dictate to God then we
stand to lose our eternal exaltation.

These women need to reread the scriptures re Korah and his minions in Numbers
16, where they claimed that by virtue of their lineage they too had right to the
High Priesthood. Moses told them they erred and tomorrow to bring their censors
to the tabernacle and offer their sacrifice. They did, The Lord was unhappy with
the assumption and opened the Earth and were swallowed some two hundred fifty.
Their friends also suffered with their death to the tune of more than 20,000,
tents, livestock, families etal. I should think these sisters and their
male supporters think thru way The Lord operates his church, not at the behest
of protestors or rebels, but the way He wants it run. Don't be found
kicking against the thorns.

"“We feel like ordination is the only thing that will bring us to full
equality with our brethren in the church"...

Sadly sister,
Priesthood is not about "full equality", it is about our duty in life to
God and our families, the ONLY person who will dictate what to do or not, how
and when is GOD.

IF we really consider that we are members of the
true church and we believe that is guided by Jesus himself, we should not
question him or God about it. Sometimes could be challenging to do something
after questioning why or how, WE need to work on that.

Jesus himself
is at the head of this church, we are not, if we keep our promises and we follow
him, He will bless our lives on what we really need.

How is this for a rebuke towards the apostate group of women clamoring to get a
peek into the priesthood session. What would you all say if we men tried
getting into the General Women's Meeting? You would all scream at your
super-soprano best and stomp your pretty feet until your high-heeled shoes break
until every last male who isn't a part of the Church's First
Presidency is chased out of the meeting. It would be like a man trying to work
out at Curves. You of the 200+ women trying to get into the priesthood meeting
should make sure that there aren't any of your bishops and stake presidents
watching you or you could face a church disciplinary court for your apostate
conduct. And you men who are found amongst the female group can be held
accountable for such actions as well. I am just doing what is said in the
Doctrine and Covenants where it says that 'those who are warned are to warn
his neighbor'.

I think this issue has more to do with faith. Does this group of LDS women not
have faith that Jesus is at the head of the LDS Church? Do they not have the
faith necessary to follow a living prophet? Do they not have faith in the
organization and workings of the church. Do they not have the faith that the
women leaders (Relief Society, Young Women and Primary) have input with the
brethren at the head of Christ's church. We as women of the LDS Church have
more power, voice and influence than our counterparts IF we will work together
in the work of the Lord. We also can do more damage, stuff-up ears, and hinder
the work when we are battling against ourselves. Sisters of the LDS church, it
is time to look in the mirror and see where we stand and with whom we stand
with. A small group of disgruntled women, or the living prophet of God.

I think these women have a good case and will someday prevail. The LDS Church
has a history of reversing teachings and doctrines that most members thought
were permanent. Happened in the late 19th century and again in the 1970s.
It's not unforeseeable that it might happen again.

If you have an issue with the church, you ask God to tell the prophet what to
do; you don't ask the prophet to tell God what to do. I most certainty
don't need priesthood ordination to feel good about myself. I'm
embarrassed to see these women baring their insecurities to the world and
calling it "feminism".

To ask respectfully for someone to consider something is not a problem. When
that consideration is given but you aren't happy about the result and then
move from asking to insisting, that is a problem. Considering something is
quite different than agreeing with and acting. Ladies-- your request has been
considered. Now it's time to accept and continue in faith or reject and
move on with your life outside the Church. The choice is yours.

This is sad to me. If they love the church like they say they do, they would
follow the prophet. They would have listened when they were asked to go to
another spot and not present themselves. Men were made by God to be different
from women. Women different from men. Neither sex is superior or inferior,
rather they have different rolls in this life and each gender is to support and
sustain one another. Revelation has not been given that women should hold the
priesthood. If they love the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints, they
would follow the teachings of the church. If they don't like what is being
done in this church and want to make their own rules, equality issues, etc. then
maybe they should start their own church and see how far the priesthood would
get them then. It's just sad that they want to be apart of this church but
don't want to abide by it's teachings. They obviously love the
attention they are getting. It is just sad to me that they won't even
listen to the prophet. Sad.

Elder Oaks made it very clear tonight that the First Presidency and Quorum of
the Twelve can exercise the keys of the priesthood only as the Lord directs. It
will do no good to protest for something that the Lord hasn't authorized.
Those in the Ordain Women group would better use their time in fasting and
prayer to Him whom they worship, rather than build public disapproval of the
Lord's church and servants.

As a female member of the LDS church, i personally feel very blessed by our
current preisthood organization. we could be like other religions I suppose,
where the select few hold the preisthood and the only ones that have it in their
homes are the pastors family. That would make me sad though. Our Heavenly Father
had seen fit to bless us with having unprecedented acces to the preisthood by
having it in our own home. in every home. This is unique to our church, and is
is part of what makes us such a wonderful religion. No change needed.

I find the reality of the OW movement to be narcissitic in gaining attention to
itself and the fundamental lack of knowledge regarding the doctrines of the
Church on the part of the subject women in the OW.
